Iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, cold-rolled, of a width less than 600mm, containing by weight less than 0.25% of carbon

HS v2017 Code: 721123

About iron or non-alloy steel; flat-rolled, cold-rolled, of a width less than 600mm, containing by weight less than 0.25% of carbon

HS code 721123 covers a specific type of flat-rolled steel product that is widely used in various industries. This cold-rolled steel, with a width less than 600mm and a carbon content below 0.25%, is a versatile material that finds applications in automotive manufacturing, construction, and consumer goods production. Its unique properties, such as enhanced strength and formability, make it an essential component in the global supply chain.

Production process

The production of HS code 721123 steel involves a series of cold-rolling processes. First, hot-rolled steel coils or sheets are fed into a rolling mill, where they are subjected to multiple passes through rollers that gradually reduce the thickness of the material. This cold-rolling process increases the steel's strength and improves its surface finish without significantly altering its chemical composition. The final product is then coiled or cut to the desired dimensions, ready for further processing or use in various applications.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of HS code 721123 steel include iron ore, coal, and scrap metal. These raw materials are smelted in a blast furnace or electric arc furnace to produce crude steel, which is then subjected to the cold-rolling process. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized rolling mill equipment, such as rollers, cooling systems, and coiling mechanisms, to ensure the consistent quality and dimensional accuracy of the final product.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 721123 is cold-rolled, flat-rolled steel with a width less than 600mm and a carbon content below 0.25%. This material is widely used in the manufacture of 871200 motor vehicles, 940320 furniture, and 732690 other metal articles. The steel produced under this code may also be further processed, such as through galvanization or painting, to meet the specific requirements of various end-use industries.
